- Quotes
Prologue: In 1755 a new war in Europe between England and France had re-lighted the fuse under the uneasy peace in America. Everyone knew a final struggle between the rival colonies of Canada and New England was inevitable. Once again that ancient Indian warpath known as the Iroquois Trail, the only natural passage between the St. Lawrence and Hudson River Valley, would provide the main battleground. At the northern end stood Montreal, while to the South, the little city of Albany was the main British base of operations.

There's a lot going on, as Nat tries to clear his murdered brother's name (he was an army officer, falsely accused of being a traitor), while Ogane, (Sheldon Leonard) the Huron native posing as a Mohawk scout for the British, is responsible for his death and working for the French. (Because of this, an important dispatch, requesting help from Fort Williams for the Crown Point outpost was not delivered and the British lost Crown Point to the French.) Nat is being helped by Chief Sagamore (Monte Blue), a Delaware native, and they enlist as scouts at Fort William, and act as escorts for Captain West (Glenn Langan), who needs to deliver important dispatches for Col. Thorne (Paul Cavanagh) and for the Colonel's daughter, Marion (Brenda Marshall).
As the story progresses, Nat and Marion fall in love, much to the chagrin of Captain West, who has been paying court to her for quite some time. She has another (very unwelcome) suitor, when Ogave decides he wants her for his wife, despite her being one of the Anglo-Americans he despises. This leads to quite a battle between him and Nat. Also, it must be discovered who the spy is, that's supplying information to French General Montcalm. Meanwhile, both Nat and Sagamore are charged with insubordination.
A lot goes on in this short film. It's worth watching/
